What Comes With the Dust
Today is Nazo Heydo’s Wedding. The day she will set herself on fire. Wearing her white gown, Nazo walks toward the bathroom. Once inside, she raises the heavy jerry can over her head. The odor of the kerosene fills her shallow breaths. With focused determination, she strikes the matchstick against the box. Before the flames catch her curly hair, she feels something magical—a motion inside her womb. Another life is kicking within her.
Would the baby have the blue eyes of Azad Saydo her forbidden lover, or the dark black eyes of the ISIS fighter who had raped her? Nazo is dying to know.
Nazo is an eighteen-year old Yazidi girl from Shingal in Iraqi Kurdistan. On a dusty August day, ISIS men drag her out of her village together with Sarah, her little deaf mute sister, to be traded as sex slaves.
Nazo must escape slavery to join her lover. She thinks her Azad is trapped by ISIS with thousands of other Yazidi families at the slopes of Mount Shingal. She blows her dreams into the universe like feathers in the whirl wind and struggles with her fate on the roads she took to avoid it.

My heart is no longer in my chest after this gut wrenching, soul crushing read. I felt like I didn't take a breath for 2 hours. This is a short book, but it is impactful. Going in I knew it was about a young girl who doused her body with kerosene the day of her wedding and that Isis was involved. I'm not going to add anything else to that. I think the reader should go into this story with as little knowledge as possible. Just know you should be in a good head space and set aside an hour (if you're a speed reader) or two to three (if you read a bit slower) because you won't be able to put this book down.
Let me be clear... This isn't a read for the faint of heart. It's a tuff one. I absolutely recommend.

DNF'd @ 50% - WARNING! This book includes vile, shockingly-detailed torture of men, women, children, and the elderly, carried out by ISIS members and their sympathizers—done, they said, in the name of God. A warning at the start of the book could have been included, but as it was not, I'm including my own. I tried to get through the book, but by 50% I could stomach it no longer. If you're even the least bit sensitive, I'd recommend you avoid this one.

This book is so well written. It transports the reader into the lives of the characters. You feel their heartache, their fear and their longing to live safely where they've lived for thousands of years. For readers interested in the massacre and genocide of the Yazidis and the Kurds, this is a must read! These innocent people have been persecuted and slaughtered because it was believed they worship the devil! This is the furthest from the truth and when you read the story, you realize that the ones doing the killing, raping and pillaging are associated with the devil, not the Yazidis. The novel is written with such beautiful words and one of the characters is a mystical, Sufi woman who helps the main character and who we see has so much in common with the main character - her way of praying, dancing, drumming, etc. Although this book is fictional, it depicts the very real events that have occurred and are still occurring on a daily basis in Syria and Iraq. I highly recommend this book and hope that this culture and these people are saved!

The Yazidis are a minority but ancient religion and are possibly a subgroup of the Kurds. The majority of the people lived in Northern Iraq where in 2014 they were subject to a ISIS lead genocide. Many women were enslaved, raped, drugged and murdered.
This book focused on the brutality of ISIS and the suffering of the women. Later in the book the focus turns to the Yazidis and the Kurds fighting back.
This book is brutal at times but so was the treatment the Yazidis suffered. As a book there is a couple of soap opera moments and a kind of happy hopeful ending but overall it left me of a portrait of an evil group of men doing evil things.

Today is Nazo Heydo’s wedding. The day she will set herself on fire.”
Thus begins What Comes with the Dust: Goes with the Wind, Gharbi Mustafa’s gripping novel about women who survive the abuses of the Islamic State.
I have read Gharbi Mustafa’s first novel, When Mountains Weep, which is the story of a Kurdish boy coming of age when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein tried to exterminate the Kurds. I knew Mustafa was as excellent novelist, so I was looking forward to this second novel about the suffering of Yazidi Kurds under ISIS. I was totally blown away by this new book. Mustafa’s first book was very good; this book is great.
What Comes with the Dust: Goes with the Wind is a long title, which comes from the Yazidi religious legends that are explained in the book. It is a story about two Yazidi women, Nazo and Soz, and their struggle to survive. Nazo must escape slavery from ISIS to reach her forbidden lover. Soz is a female soldier who fights ISIS but also struggles with a secret love. Their fates are intertwined in a heart-wrenching story taken directly from the events we see on the daily news.
In 2014, the world watched in horror as Kurdish helicopters dropped relief supplies and tried to rescue thousands of Yazidis on Shingal Mountain in Iraqi Kurdistan, trapped there by ISIS. Since then, the United Nations has recognized the Yazidis re the targets of genocide by the Islamic State.
Who are these Yazidis? Why are the Kurds so eager to rescue them? Why is ISIS so eager to destroy them? This novel answers these questions, even though it is a work of fiction. In story form, the novel unravels the mysteries of the Middle East to western readers. Along the way, Mustafa shows us the mysterious religion and culture of the Yazidis, and contrasts these peaceful people with the fanatical cruelty of ISIS. Rich in culture and characters, and jarring in its account of jihadist brutality, it is a story that keeps the reader turning the pages to the end. I simply could not put it down until I finished. It is well worth the two hours and 200 pages.

What Comes With The Dust is a heartbreaking tale of two strong individuals who survive Daesh's massacre of their village and face two very different futures.
This novel is not for the faint of heart or easily distressed; the contents are hard hitting, emotional, and raw while not choosing to constantly hammer in a sense of hopelessness and despair. Even at the protagonists' worst moments, there is always hope, always a light, and their strength and fortitude is something to be not only admired, but respected for how much it takes to survive after losing everything and being tortured.
The ending is painful and bittersweet, but I really enjoyed the emphasis the author places on the future, and of community and comraderie in the end. For the two women, their stories book end one another in a gut wrenching way, but the implied friendship and support the two have with one another after their escape is beyond what words can describe.
I feel as though Western audiences in particular should read this to better understand those who flee from the war and the gravity in which their decisions came from. More empathy and understanding would come of that for those who cannot stay in Daesh's shadow and cannot fight.

ARC Review- A tragic, harsh look at what it means to live in area where ISIS is in control. The actions of people to survive and the colorful, well drawn characters make this a readable book for someone looking for modern fiction.
March 17, 2024
This was a tough read. It is less than 200 pages (hardback), yet it took me a ridiculous amount of time to get through. Caution: this must be read in small doses. It is a good book, but the content is difficult. Even though fiction, every reader knows that every depiction, every paragraph is painfully vivid, very relevant and probable.
The story parallels the struggles of two women in particular, Nazo and Soz, along with countless other victims, Yazidi people, struggling to survive their suffering at the hands of the merciless terrorists regime of ISIS. Enslavement, rape, trafficking and every other horror imaginable is told by an author that doesn't need imagination to tell this story, because worldwide footage/news has alerted the world about such activity in this war. The women in this story experience unimaginable atrocities, while digging deep into their core to exhibit strength, fortitude, and faith. Every daring escape from one situation leads to some new horror.
This book starts with the Prologue, and a Ancient Yzaidi Prophecy. Following, is an alarming first sentence of the first chapter: “TODAY is Nazo Heydo’s wedding day, and today she will set herself on fire.” I am startled by this. This is extreme desperation to escape a forced marriage to a Syrian elder who bought her.
I did earmark what I perceived as a most powerful passage, late in the book:
"For me, the names we give to God and the locations where we worship Him are less important than the purpose for our communion with Him. In my soul, there is a temple - a shrine, a mosque, a church - where I kneel. Prayer should bring us to an altar where no walls or names exist. In my soul, the world dissolves, leaving only God."
I was challenged to read a series of books for the United Women in Faith Reading Program. The Reading Program books are divided into five categories: Education for Mission, Leadership Development, Nurturing for Community, Social Action, and Spiritual Growth. "What Comes With the Dust" was in the Social Action category.
I cautiously recommend this book.

This is a hard book to read as the content has to do with war and the genocide of the Yazidi people in Iraq, by ISIS, the Islamic State.
This book follows a couple of people, but one of the main ones is Nazo, who lives on a farm with her parents, outside a small village, and whose parents have set up a marriage for her with a cousin of hers.
Nazo has other plans because she has fallen in love with Azad a young man who had come to her village to teach, and they were going to elope and make their way to Europe.
The morning they were to leave, she hasn't heard anything from him, and shortly after she finds out why, ISIS fighters are in her town rounding up people, separating the women and children from the men, killing the men that they could and taking the women, for their pleasure and for sex trade. The woman were told if they did not convert to Sunni Islam they would be killed.
This story is a hash reality of what happens during war, and the sad look at the cruelty, that one group can bestow on another just because they do not have the same beliefs.
It is a story, that gives us a look a the horrors of war but also of the resilience people have to continue on in search of the good, but also a story of love, friendships, and hope.
It is a story that keeps you reading and cheering for the main characters. It is a book one should read to understand the conflicts in that area.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Skyhorse Publishing for the ARC of this book.

What do you do when when life as you know it is destroyed? What Comes With The Dust by Gharbi M. Mustafa tells the story of the massacre of the Yazidis people by ISIS in Iraq.
I really knew nothing about this event and I found the book to be pretty informative in showing me what happened. This is a plot driven story. Which is probably a good thing. I do not think I could have handled this book had it been more character driven and had I felt more connected to the characters. The events depicted are horrific. The author, Mustafa, does not shy away from detailing what happens in the massacre. It was a very difficult story to read about.
What I loved about the story were the many examples of kindness. Even among such horrific events which show humans doing unspeakable things to one another, there are those who despite their own hardships, show kindness and love to someone in need.
What Comes With The Dust was an interesting book. It was a difficult read and I can’t begin to imagine that unfortunately it is the life of far to many people. This book does carry with it all the violence triggers – self harm, physical abuse, shootings, rape, suicide. This is also a good book to read for an insight into refugees and what they go through and what they are seeking. It also has examples of strong women. Woman who are smart and filled with courage and who don’t give up.

From the perspective of living in a western country, we generally have no idea that parts of the world live in a way where displacement and abject cruelty are commonplace. Similarly, we are for the most part insulated from the atrocities and horror associated with war and outright societal chaos. All we know is what we see on the news and over the years, we have become numb to the reality that is still sadly being experienced by fellow humans in other parts of the world.
In What Comes With the Dust, author Gharbi M. Mustafa rips the scab off that world and exposes us to the horrors experienced by people, predominantly to woman in a world that is their reality.
Following the life of Nazo, an eighteen year old Yazidi girl from Shingal in Iraqi Kurdistan, it tells the tale of her village being raided by ISIS militants and her, along with her deaf and mute sister taken to be traded as sex slaves.
Gripping from page one, I found this book to be horrific and both eye opening as well as difficult to absorb. The horrors of how people can treat their fellow human beings with such callousness seems impossible to me in spite of the fact that it occurs daily in many parts of the world. The resilience of these people living under these conditions is equally amazing.
Stories like these are difficult read but I think they're important as we look beyond ourselves and strive for change and improvement to the human experience.

I really want to give this book a better rating as I think the story deserves it but on the other hand I found the writing to be quite disjointed and the story poorly written.
It is a book that follows a few main characters of what happens to people who live in an area where ISIS have taken control. The story gives a harsh look at how ISIS treated the Yazidis and Kurds and how they persecuted, slaughtered and massacred thousands of people merely because ISIS considered others to be devil worshippers. The story is full of rape and slavery and the depraved way many women are treated is truly awful. There are no words really that describes the hell many women have and are still enduring.
Personally I didn't like this story because it is full of awful inhuman stories but I also applaud the author for being brave enough to tell this very important story so people can become more aware of what is happening with ISIS.

Because this novel concerns the attempt by the Islamic State to enslave and forcibly convert the women and slaughter the men of the Yazidi faith, there is no shortage of material for those who believe that Islam is a religion of violence. There are occasional instances of brutality from the Yazidis as well, though their fight for survival will excuse them for many readers. The deeper message is that their hope and faith will insure Yazidi survival. As a work of writing, the occasional purple prose is mostly overwhelmed by the lean and swiftly moving plot. There are arguably enough coincidences to please Dickens, but these can be explained in one of two ways--the relatively small geographical area in which the novel occurs or the working out of destiny and providence among the faithful. A sometimes clumsy, but generally rewarding work.
June 17, 2023
This short novel about the struggles of the peaceful Yazidi Kurds when their towns and villages were attacked by ISIS is an important book because it puts human faces to unimaginable suffering. The story focuses on two women - Nazo and Sol - whose lives become intertwined as they face one horror after another, from rape, torture, forced marriage, being sold into slavery, escape, betrayal, losing their families, and engaging in actual combat. This was a difficult read and, to be honest, I couldn’t wait for it to end because it was rather unbearable, although there were also glimpses of humanity, resilience and deep love.
September 29, 2018
Absolutely heart stopping story. Just heart-breakingly agonizing to read. Such suffering and torment of innocent people during war time. It just boggles the mind of those of us fortunate enough to have never experienced war of refugees on par with the rest of the world. This well-written book should be on everyone's TBR list. Excellent story.

OUTSTANDING
I couldn't put this book down, read it in one afternoon. It brings to life the untold horrors of this war. People watch the news and only see one side . This story tells you about the women and children caught in a horrible war.
It's a must read, but be ready to be sickened by the acts of the Isis army. The acts cruelty are barbaric and savage. These monsters must be stamped out. Without mercy.

mustafa gharbi has a great way of writing , he has a way to catch the readers attention , makes me not to drop the book until finished, his way of story telling worths even more than 5 starts , i gave it 4 since i didnt like the way he choose his characters way to live , this is not much of kurdish culture , but overall it was awesome
November 14, 2018
How can you like a book that is rife with rape and slavery? As always man's inhumanity to man is despicable. The life these women struggle through is unbelievable. ISIS is synonymous with evil and horror. I found Nazo's many escapes a bit too easy and extreme. Somehow there was always an easy way out for her. I was not fond of the magical old lady or the wolves either.
June 7, 2020
A gripping story based on the true genocide of the Yadizi that happened so recently that needs to be heard. Stylistically much like Khaled Hosseini, the characters of this book will take you through their suffering, despair, but also hope. This suffering is an ongoing issue for so many. I truly think everyone should read this.

I read this book as part of the United Methodist Women’s Reading Program.
This is a story of several different Yazidis people and what their lives were like as ISIS invades their villages. It is fast moving, covering periods of time quickly, heartbreaking and eye opening.

This is a novel about the Yazidis plight in the middle east, told from the perspective of Nazo, a young woman. It was pretty grim in the beginning, but I made it to the end. It's not all death and destruction, despite ISIS controlling the area and perpetrating their usual atrocities.
August 24, 2023
A hard book to read because it is real, and it is gritty. Well written but difficult to read. I did learn a lot about some thing I knew little about, so that is the real value for me. I doubt anyone could say they enjoyed reading this, but perhaps everyone should read it.

Couldn't finish - too graphic.
December 10, 2018
Important story, but poorly written.
January 13, 2019
Honestly, a lot of what happened to the characters in the book I'd read in news articles. The story of the Yazidi people needs to be told but needs a better storyteller.
March 15, 2020
This book was so poorly written and disjointed I could hardly finish it.
May 26, 2020
A novel regarding genocide, survival instincts, and the life and existence of the Yazidi people.

It's really slightly over 2 stars - the stories are important, but the writing is just barely ok.

Fascinating plotline, but poorly written.
